League Message Board

I'm very glad to see that the league was inspired by my brilliant trade for Yordan Alvarez. Speaking of which, um: oops! If you can stomach some risk in potentially landing a huge asset for 2026, it is probably wise of me to consider trading him at a discount for some safer 2025 bets.

I actually really appreciate the conversation these deals provoked. It's a good reminder that the thing that makes this league fun is that everyone *cares*.

Ok. Multiple owners expressed concern about this trade. I was not the first owner to bring up loan limits. It seemed like there was some interest in adjusting. Now perhaps not. "It's part of Ottoneu" is a tautology, not a justification. I've said my piece, I'll pull back.

I would definitely oppose adding our own limits on loans because I think these kinds of trades actively help the long-term competitive balance of the league. For whatever reason, we've been resistant to these kinds of deals over the years, and I think that's contributed to the various dynasties we've had. Before this trade, Bixby had 5 of the top 11 surplus players in the league according the surplus calculator. Now he only has four, which makes having the league's 3rd 4-peat less likely.

It doesn't seem like we're getting anywhere here, so we don't need the dismissive commentary about other owners who are offering their perspectives. If you don't want to be a part of a trade that includes a loan, or not engage in trades before a certain date, that's your choice. But it is part of Ottoneu nevertheless.

And, to point out the stupidly obvious, MLB does not have a salary cap, so we're outside the realm of that particular comparison before we begin.
Brighten the Hoerners on May 6, 2025 3:55 PM

I mean....MLB cash payments in trades do not rise to the level of 20-25% of a team's payroll—certainly not in May!—so I'm not sure this is a fair comparison. If people don't think loan limits are an appropriate solution to the expressed problem....ok. But let's keep things in perspective here, and make sane arguments.

I might not be at my most persuasive on this issue at this exact moment, but I’d oppose loan limits. The salary cap is a necessary but unfortunate divergence between Ottoneu and MLB. But the loan function closely mirrors actual MLB transactions, and should be kept on that basis. Plenty of examples - the Mets getting Luisangel Acuña by paying down Scherzer’s salary, for one. Having to include offsetting contracts instead would be more like expiring contracts in NBA trades.

I'm not sure what's anti-competitive about it... it's actually a very competitive move by one owner to boost a team to be more competitive now and by another owner to be more competitive in the future. Loans are a part of real life trades too and Ottoneu is designed to mimic real team management. If all trades have to be salary neutral, it would remove the incentives for the vast majority of trades, particularly in points scoring.
🎻The Saggese Bottom Boyds🎙️ on May 6, 2025 3:31 PM

Regardless, I'd advocate for starting with the problem—some owners find these trades anti-competitive—and not a solution (lowering the number of required vetos)
